Hepatitis C is a viral infection that causes inflammation of the liver. There are often no early symptoms, so you may not realize youâre infected for a long time. However, most people with hepatitis C live with chronic infection. In the long term, that can lead to severe health problems, including liver failure. Treatment generally involves antiviral medications. According to the Mayo Clinic, not everyone with hepatitis C requires treatment.
